STUDENT COMMENTS
Loyola's Undergraduate business department provides many opportunities to hit the career path running. Many of the Professors have first-hand experience with the field that they teach and the insight and guidance they give to the students is excellent.
The liberal arts integration with the business school played an important part of my higher education. Also, professors incorporate current events, other classes, and the Jesuit mission with their classroom preparation.
The marketing professors are very poor. There is little variety of courses and the professors that teach them. Professor Tuncay was my favorite professor, and she no longer teaches undergraduate courses, just graduate.
I would say the single most important factor for determing how a student does postgraduation is their efforts to seek out the services that a university offers. Loyola offers adequate services, but because our student population has been growing—without the same kind growth in the administration——it becomes difficult to use these services.
The accounting department I believe is the strongest undergraduate business program, the faculty and the preparation for the job market and the CPA exam is hard to rival. Also, the career services that come along with the accounting department are great. At the career, fair all of the Big Four were there, along with many of the other largest accoutning firms.
The finance department at Loyola University Chicago is far superior to many in the area. The department is committed to active research, as well as teaching their own classes. My education in finance has prepared me to go on to a top-ranked MBA program. For that, I am extremely grateful.
I really appreciate the opportunities provided to me by Loyola University and the business school. I feel confident in my abilities and my education and look forward to entering the workforce and making a difference. I have had a wonderful experience at Loyola and would fully recommend the school to any prospective business student.
The Loyola Undergraduate Business Program is characterized by teachers whom care. The name of the school may not carry the most weight, but the teachers place heavy emphasis on preparing you for the real world. It may not always appear to the students that everything we learn is intertwined. But if you were to reflect on it, outside of class one would understand.
I feel the undergrad career center could do a better job of bringing in better businesses to the job fairs. I have had three finance internships in Chicago, and Loyola has not helped me get any of them. If you go to Loyola and want to get a good internship you must do it on your own through either connections you have, or applying on company Web sites.
I feel that they gave me a very well rounded experience. I had small classes (about 15 to 20 students in each), and was able to gain the recognition I needed individually. The school gave you the help you needed and you could always see a counselor within the next three days if you needed it. The school had an adequate amount of business fairs and the professors helped you in placement programs.
The business classes I have taken are very rigorous, but they helped me manage my time wisely, develop critical thinking skills, and to be more independent. The professors are very approachable. They know you by your first name and they really care about students' success. They emphasize business ethics and depth of character.
I am really enjoying my experiences at Loyola. I am happy to see the School of Business Administration's continuous efforts to improve the program.
Overall, I believe that the Accounting Dept. is one of the best departments in the whole school. The professors are amazing and go above and beyond to enable all students succeed in school and beyond.
Loyola's Business school is underrated. It is a phenomenal school and definitely better than its neighboring school DePaul. I compared classes and homework load with a DePaul student and to my dismay, they have no work and color for projects. It's a shame.
I was surprised by the amount of work that you have to do in order to get an A for all your classes.
The focus on ethics at Loyola is an important part of the education I received. We joke that of the Chicago business schools, we're the only one without an alumnus/alumna in jail! Also, the professors are extremely good at providing real-world examples and awareness throughout the courses.
As with many schools, I imagine, the caliber of teaching grows exponentially as one moves into the upper levels. That said, all but two of my business professors have been excellent!
The School of Business is rapidly developing into one of the finest in the nation. As the statistics will show, students are very satisfied with their selection in coming here. I myself am very proud to call Loyola University Chicago School of Business home.
I feel like the accounting dept. has really prepared me for postgraduation. I feel very confident in my knowledge and skills in accounting. All of my teachers are very enthusiastic about teaching their students and helping them in any way possible.
Loyola University Chicago has a great connection with employers and firms in Chicago. One of the greatest benefits to students here is the large number of opportunities available to experience the business world first-hand, whatever the area of focus may be. In addition, the school offers freedom in choosing classes and schedules. There are no highly enforced strict guidelines on what one should do when. This teaches organization and management and forces the student to be active in making future career decisions.
